This looks like the sort of scammy email program that gives someones email address to a ton of spammers.

What are you even talking about??? I have never heard of such things, and google returns a Camera and a Flight Log.
Don't even say you can't find them on the internet, there isn't even any information about them.
Are you trolling or genuinely stupid?

BFL is like the worst ASIC company out there that you can find. Do more research before paying for nothing.

Either use escrow or don't trade. BitCoin transactions are irreversible.

So what... It will end up only usable on the iPhone 6, and not on older devices due to "hardware restrictions".

Immersion cooling is expensive and messy. Just install a heatsink!

Similar pricing.

This one over the other. This one has an amazing laser that goes pew pew!

It makes no difference in the end. It averages out to the same. The only thing I'd recommend is not mining at ghash.io

And not BTC Guild either. Point at smaller pools.
3612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would a fake transaction look like? on: January 24, 2014, 11:16:02 PM
What I mean is, I've heard it's possible to pretend to send bitcoins so it shows up on the blockchain as unconfirmed.  How easy is to do this?  What would it look like on the blockchain... just a transaction that never gets confirmed or what?

I'm just wondering if it means anything when I buy a bitcoin from someone and it "shows up" in my wallet immediately without confirmations.  Is that any evidence that they actually sent real bitcoins or could those easily be faked?

Essentially you need to send the same bitcoins twice, once to the address you want to create a fake transaction to, and the other to another address of yours. The time between the transaction must be short and you must make the real transaction more desirable to the miners than the fake one, this is achieved by giving the real transaction a high transaction fee. But as said, the window of opportunity is small.

Take a look at;

Edit/

You could also use block withholding, if you had some computational grunt at your disposal. But the window of opportunity is still small.

He meant double spending? I thought he meant that Unconfirmed Transactions were fake, LOL.

Very simple: only use CGMiner, don't use GUIMiner. Especially not for scrypt.

I don't like Windows Phone, but I have to say that your app looks awesome.
3615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would a fake transaction look like? on: January 24, 2014, 10:53:35 PM
All transactions "show up" in your wallet as unconfirmed. This does not mean it was a fake payment. All transactions start out as unconfirmed ones...
3616  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Too Many Scammers on: January 24, 2014, 10:32:11 PM
This isn't a problem with bitcoin so much as it is a social problem.

Think of BTC like cash, I know not many of you young folks remember cash, but once you give it to someone, it's gone unless you track them down and beat it out of them.  BTC is no different.  Use the SAME techniques for securing BTC transactions as you would for cash - make certain you aren't being robbed.  How many people would you mail cash to without vetting them?

If you could reverse BTC transactions it would just increase scamming.

Correct. It is your own responsibility to keep your bitcoins safe, and your own responsibility to avoid scammers. If they could be reversed, then that ruins the whole point. Who decides if they should be reversed or not? Someone? Then it isn't decentralized. I'm sorry, but it's your own fault.

I'd recommend adding a heat sink, although it is a bit of a fuss it probably works best.
3618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What's the safest way to store BTC? on: January 24, 2014, 10:20:49 PM
This is all too overly exaggerated. Unless OP is a paranoid "muthafucka" which hes not, So stop with the unnecessary tips.

He asked for the safest way, so different people suggested different safe ways.

If you're willing to pay that 120% in BTC to me,I'll do it.My PC gives 400-460 KHash/s for scrypt mining. Smiley

Wait for official launch, pool is closed for now. And it's no longer 120%.
